Someone PLEASE straighen me out on this. I have heard/read from multiple sources that the University gets +2 Support as a faction bonus, yet in the game it gets no such thing. I looked in the faction file and this is the really strange part:

#DATALINKS2
^+2 RESEARCH: {Brilliant research}
^-2 PROBE: {Academic networks vulnerable to infiltration}
^Free NETWORK NODE at every base
^One BONUS TECH at beginning of game
^Extra DRONE for every four citizens {(lack of ethics)}
^{May not use Fundamentalist Politics.}
#xxx
^+2 SUPPORT: {Engineers readily improvise}
Why is +2 support under some #xxx sign? Does this mean they only get it on higer difficulty levels? HELP!!!

well, The Believers get ++support, and it is not mentioned. perhaps this is the missing Believers entry.

My guess is that the ++Support for the University would be unbalancing, so it was eliminated.
